My roommate and I spent the entire day playing classic nintendo games at consoleclassix.com. Tetris and Super Mario. Seriously. It's free, and you'll never leave the house again.
Mardi Gras in New Orleans was a blast, with the exception of my delayed plane flight (don't ask) and the fact that I got a free ticket that I can't even use on most of the days I've tried to use it for future travel. I may never fly US Airways again.
I met up with my old DC roommate Chris, who is now living in the Garden District and working (again) for the Times-Picayune. It was his first New Orleans Mardi Gras.
Breland and I also went to the Bacchus Ball and watched the parade come through the convention center. James Gandolfini of the Sopranos was the King and Drew Brees its Grand Marshall. Quite the show. None of my pictures really came out, unfortunately.
I've really enjoyed catching up (over the phone) with some of my old friends from college and working at The Daily Reveille. I think I have almost talked myself in to going to LSU Law School. The amount of money they've offered in scholarship dollars and the ease of moving back to Baton Rouge into my old place where I already have a group of friends is extremely appealing.
Unless Tulane comes through with $$ I think I'll be back in Baton Rouge next year. I'm visiting LSU April 13 just to be sure.
Tomorrow I'm off to the Oral Surgeon to get a consult on getting my wisdom teeth out. No fun, especially in this snow and ice. That's all for now, will write more this week.

THAT IS THE WORST AIRLINE EVER. They called us while we were literally walking out the door to go to the airport (when i went up to DC, actually) to tell us our flight was canceled and we couldn't get a new one until the NEXT DAY. So we missed a day completely. THEN they lost our luggage when we finally got there a day late (and with a layover...the original flight didn't have one). When they found our luggage, they refused to bring it to us that morning and said they couldn't do it until the afternoon, so my dad had to go get it himself so we wouldn't lose yet ANOTHER day in DC. We received some measly vouchers that we'll never use because we'll never fly them again.
